The Biden administration is removing unused sections of the border wall and auctioning them off for mere dollars, reports The Daily Wire.
A video posted by the news outlet showed trucks hauling away parts of the wall to GovPlanet, a government surplus auction site in Marana, Arizona.
A border patrol agent told The Daily Wire the removal was happening from three stations: Nogales, Tucson, and Three Points.
"The goal is to move all of it off the border before Christmas," the person said.
The agent also estimated that a half-mile's worth of parts was being removed daily.
Bidding for the parts — listed as steel bollard wall sections w/grout — starts at just $5 on GovPlanet, according to screenshots taken by The Daily Wire.
"They just started taking all the wall that was not used, which is still totally good and usable, and they started taking it northbound," the agent said. "They're pulling it all off the border."
Rep. Elijah Crane, R-Ariz., said the Biden administration is "purposefully hamstringing" President-elect Donald Trump before he takes office.
"The Biden administration is well aware they shouldn't have reversed the construction of the border wall. If it's true, they're purposefully hamstringing an incoming president, it wouldn't be shocking," Crane told The Daily Wire. "Why would they want to see President Trump succeed with policies they aggressively sabotaged?"
The office of the secretary of defense declined to respond to The Daily Wire about the alleged fire sale.
